Aftershave: T&H 1805

Well its been awhile since I posted last. I did shave over spring break. I used a shavette and GFT cream. I gotta say that sample of cream was nice. Might look into it. Onward to today:

My lady friend may be more of a keeper than I thought before. She stayed over last night and was enthralled that she was going to see me shave with a straight so I obliged and got to work. At the very end I handed her my three bottles of aftershave and asked her to choose. And now I know her opinion is 1805. She likes Traflagar also but 1805 is her favorite of my three. Proraso white is such a mild smell that it came in third.

Just about forgot. I did touch up the edge of the Mappin & Webb with my new Escher last night and The shave was buttery smooth.

I GOT TO SHAVE[/B][/center]

Hey, good to hear you're still with us and still enjoying life! The positive (yes, there's a positive) is that they've found a problem and so now they can look at fixing it. I guess a lot of people don't get warnings. Hope you're relaxing as much as you can.

today was a WONDERFUL day that led to a shave jus to add icing to the cake !!
got up early , 42degrees sun shining , birds chirping !! watched a bit of NFL channel and passed out ...lol.. got up and decided to fish a bit !! hit the water and my phone rang !! my daughter wanted to go for a hike so i said id fish out to the car and pick her up ..

well the fish turned on , i landed one , ( phone died ) next cast i hooked and landed another , then 5 mins later hooked and lost one .. they were turning on and it was hard to leave but i had made plans ... lol

did the hike and while relaxing i decided to rehone a razor since my coti skills are putting out edges i like now and of course i had to try it ..!!

pre= lathered just to see if it would soften up any whiskers
brush= Wee-Scott
soap= Mikes " Barbershop" really enjoying this sect/soap
razor(s)
1) John Elliot 8/8
2) Greaves 7/8
3) Gillette Slim
results === my 7/8 Greaves is my fav shaver BUT what was once my fav edge/razor has fallin a bit behind !! i really like the coti feel so i think im gonna have to put a coti edge on this razor so it gets back up on top of the razor/shave scale !! .. the J Elliot performed nice and shaved well !! and of course i did my usual ATG pass with the DE ..

Gentlemen, I would just like to say thank you very much for making my shave this morning the Featured Shave of the Day. I am indeed very honored as this is my first time and being a relative newcomer to the forums makes it that much more fulfilling. So once again, thank you guys.
